PCMag.com - 9.15.10 by Matthew MurraySAN FRANCISCO—In his keynote speech at the Intel Developer Forum here this morning, Intel vice president and chief technology officer Justin Rattner focused on "context-aware computing," in which devices anticipate your needs and desires and help fulfill them—before you even ask.

The goal, he said, of bringing this to currently popular devices is to "change the relationship so we think of these devices not as devices but as companions, things that are indispensable in our daily lives." He described future devices that will constantly learn about you and your preferences based on how you use the device.
